I What British Hav Don.
"In the present operations, the Itrlt-
ish army has withstood many time
! Ita own weight of enemy masses. It
1 has r tired slowly, exacting th full
est price. Meanwhile, Foch holds the
bulk of the French In reserve, sending
1 urits only to points hard pressed. Thm
; strategy has Justified itself in that lit
three weeks It has seen the enemy
I bronchi to a standstill without a sin
! t strategic objective being fulfilled
; and wl h losses so immense that his
I reserv is in danger of proving Inade
quate to hi policy.
"The German commander, aeelng
how nearly he ia delivering himself
to the allied reserve, has been com
pelled to accept temporary failure
and call a halt. Ills position is tacti
cally eiposed In two dangerous sali
ents on waterlogged ground. Ills
rountrynient are dangerously dissat
isfied at the immense price paid for
hia failure to terminate their suffer
Inn. His allies are on the verge ol'
quarrelling and dally exhibit their
growing dislike and distrust ot the
task master who robs them of their
lives and food.
"His reserves have nearly reache f
complete exhaustion. Those of the
Franco llritish are still in being,
while the American preparations de
velop. The tin.e draws closer when
defeat is Inevitable. Therefore, he
must renew the offensive. His prep,
arations proceed feverishly but It
takea months properly to organlie
such an offensive. He must be sat
isfied with what he can do in weeks.
We may, therefore, expect a renew 1,
furious onslaught before long. The
enemy is so committed to his stra'e
plcal plans thiit we may await his
main blow on tbe Arras-Amiens front
' while neiessity compels him to try o
1 improve his position in the Lys sector
J "The allies may have complete con
, fldence In the result. For tha enemy
